Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Environmental Health
  • Textile Engineering

Background:

  • Particulate matter (PM) pollution poses significant public health risks, necessitating effective air filtration solutions.
  • Existing face masks primarily focus on filtration, often neglecting user thermal comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce thermal management into face mask design for improved user comfort.
  • To develop multifunctional face masks capable of both air pollutant filtration and thermal regulation.

Main Methods:

  • A composite system of nanofibers on nanoporous polyethylene (fiber/nanoPE) was engineered.
  • The system's particulate matter capture efficiency and pressure drop were evaluated.
  • Infrared (IR) transparency and reflectance properties of the nanoPE substrate and Ag-coated variants were measured.

Main Results:

  • The fiber/nanoPE system achieved high PM2.5 capture efficiency (99.6%) with a low pressure drop.
  • The nanoPE substrate exhibited high IR transparency (92.1%), enabling radiative cooling.
  • Coating with silver (Ag) resulted in high IR reflectance (87.0%), facilitating warming.

Conclusions:

  • The developed multifunctional face masks offer a dual solution for PM pollution protection and personal thermal comfort.
  • These innovative masks have potential applications in both outdoor and indoor environments.
  • The integration of thermal management represents a novel advancement in face mask technology.
